I think it's an advantage. You will never mix up the names :) – norbiq, on May 08, 2008 06:40

My ex was a Sandy, my wife now is a Sandy, I'm so confused by yet another Sandy! If I include Sandy on an email to Sandy about my ex Sandy and ask Sandy to remind me..... lord have mercy on me.

Can I name mine "Lord Doom"?

For that matter, I see Sandy's creators eventually having different avatars for "Sandy", or whatever name you choose. Increased use of our imaginations is inherent in the Internet, or with A.I. assistants or companions. Sandy will get more powerful over time, but she'll be known by different names, such as "Lola" and "Mrs. Beasley."

I can see how this could become an HR issue. For the sake of Sandy fans everywhere, the ability to change her name might be an important feature.

Just don't ever write "I want Sandy!"

Another test:

Remind me to "check to see if Julie's email address is xxxx@xxxxxx.org" @inbox
Remind me to "Go to City Hall, 3500 McFarland Blvd" @inbox

Works correctly and does NOT make a contact, just a regular note.

Remind me to "Call Michael at 210-1996" @inbox

Worked correctly...strange!

WOW!!

Remember to "Call Michael at 210-1996" @inbox

Makes a contact card.

It is the DIFFERENCE between Remember and Remind!!!
Surely a dev would (or should) have known this.

By golly, you're right - I tried that second example myself and sure enough Sandy made it a contact!! I guess those quotes aren't quite the bullet-proof shield I thought they were!

So, Sandy dev's - what's up with this?

Jeff, Thanks for the update. When I tried the 2nd number with an actual phone number, it created a contact card, just as before.

I wonder how we can tell Sandy not to make a contact card for one hot items.

Hi, Michael,

You can prevent Sandy from parsing within a string by enclosing it in quotes. I tried your examples as shown below and got good results (also shown below!).

Jeff asked a question in I want Sandy on January 15, 2008 00:28:

Can I change Sandy's "name?"

Just found iwantsandy.com and I'm already infatuated, but I have one small issue: One of the coworkers who is often in my email chains is named "Sandy!"

I hate to have everyone on my team think I'm asking HER to remember stuff - can I change the name Sandy looks for in the "Sandy, remember to call Joe at 2:00pm tomorrow" tagline I'm now adding to emails?? How aoout"Jill," or "Jeeves," or maybe "Mr. McGoo?"
